Emotional pleas do not sway federal courts.  Only the cold hard force of legal will does.

Patience.  Attention to detail.  Strategy.  Planning.  Honesty.  Integrity. Respect for the law.  Respect for the process.  Thorough research.  And most important – genuine injuries different than those suffered by the public at large.

By now it should be clear that federal standing and political question doctrine issues will not yield to exotic conceptual legal theories.  As predicted, the courts will not bend to anyone that precedent does not bestow judicial invitation upon.  After the electoral college certified Obama, I predicted every eligibility law suit pending against him would fail on procedural grounds unless brought via the DC District Court under the the DC quo warranto statute.

That prediction is batting 1000.

If people feel better blaming the messenger for correctly analyzing these cases, so be it.  Not knowing the legal truth doesn’t stop the legal truth from being true.

The blog is taking too much of my time and energy.  Therefore, it is going dark.  I have work to do.  My legal blogging days are over.  I may eventually publish a book on this era of my life.

Peace and love.
